Changing SpinEdit width
by Yann Papouin 04 Oct '13

04 Oct '13

Hi, For my daily use of Inkscape, SpinEdit controls are too small for quick value reading. http://ftpmerou.free.fr/inkscape/inkscape-widget-size.jpg I'm would like to know where their min width is set. I took a look into "src/widgets/widget-sizes.h" and trying to change these values but even after a clean build it does not seems to have any effect : #define AUX_SPINBUTTON_WIDTH #define AUX_SPINBUTTON_WIDTH_SMALL #define AUX_OPTION_MENU_WIDTH #define AUX_MENU_ITEM_WIDT

Report #10
by Vinícius dos Santos Oliveira 03 Oct '13

03 Oct '13

So, GSoC coding period is over and now is documentation period. I've sent two more commits to the Inkscape repository earlier today. Nathan convinced me to think "why is the project great?" and then I decided to make two more videos (mic is bad, but understandable, I think): https://vimeo.com/75245148 https://vimeo.com/75247946 My strong accent is bad, but I don't have much people to talk to in english, so you guys will need bear it. I hope you guys like the videos. Tell me if this happens. =) So, this is "documentation week" and I'll write more blog posts regarding technical details (and group them under some folder in the repository). I'll also write the so wanted tutorial (I accept hints about its format). After the week is over, so is GSoC 2013 and my responsibilities will move from "GSoC 2013 student" to "lib2geom and Inkscape developer". The first thing I should do is unify the construction of d attributes of path elements and move this abstraction to the 2geom library, then Inkscape and libdepixelize will share more code (always a good thing). Second thing I'll do is prepare a new stable release of 2geom (need to be discussed with the other of you devs) and create a package for the ArchLinux User Repositories. So, something to tease you guys. Me and Nathan (this guy always have ideas. lucky me for having him as mentor) have some ideas about how to improve the Kopf-Lischinski image quality and we decided to publish a paper. Another cool three-months project to work on. I may finish the harmonic maps triangulation (and put it inside 2geom) before implement the new cool ideas. Anyway, I'll have to delay this project for one week, because the community of my other open source project misses me and have some issues demanding my attention. So, another thing: if you guys have a hand-chosen collection of pixel art images with Alpha Channel, please send me. They will help me in the research project. Jabier did the first step and send me a bunch of this images already, but the more the better (and mainly if they are carefully chosen one-by-one). It was an awesome experience to work with the Inkscape community. -- Vinícius dos Santos Oliveira https://about.me/vinipsmaker

Staging Website: Offline for Upgrade
by Martin Owens 03 Oct '13

03 Oct '13

Hey devs, This is only the staging server, so I'm only letting devs know. The staging server is down while I move us from apache2 to enginx; most of the work is complete already, there's just some last minute configuring to do. Hopefully I'll be ready to release some cool features by the start of next week. Martin,

GSOC 2013 Results
by Tavmjong Bah 02 Oct '13

02 Oct '13

The 2013 version of Google Summer of Code has ended. All five projects were successful. Congratulations students (and mentors)! The projects were (* indicates code already merged with trunk): 1) An interactive tool for recoloring artwork. Arshdeep Singh (demicoder), mentored by Ted Gould.[1] 2) Improved units support and consolidating units handling to one place.* Matthew Petroff, mentored by Johan Engelen.[2] 3) Electronics CAD support, focusing on improving connectors and symbols. Sebastian Götte (jaseg), mentored by Tavmjong Bah.[3] 4) A new dialog to create documents from templates.* Jan Darowski (Slagvi), mentored by Krzysztof Kosiński.[4] 5) A new raster-to-vector algorithm focusing on small images.* Vinícius dos Santos Oliveira (vinipsmaker), mentored by Nathan Hurst.[5] The new raster-to-vector algorithm even has a new tutorial included inside of Inkscape! I would like to remind students that haven't already done so, to upload their sample code submissions. This can be done on your Melange project page.

hack-tweaking a filter ?
by Bric 02 Oct '13

02 Oct '13

A lot of the fancy filters do not have any user parameters; i am looking at Filters -> Materials -> Gold splatter, for example. How can I tweak the colors this produces ? (the "gold" is too green for my purposes) Is it a python extension script? I'm failing to find that in the extensions directory. thanks.

rasterize an object?
by Bric 02 Oct '13

02 Oct '13

i started a new thread, even though this stems from the same task that made me start the previous thread (hack-tweaking a filter) Is there a way to rasterize an object or a selection in inkscape? That might also accomplish my goal — I could then apply raster color manipulations... currently, that's impossible, if my gold-splatter is in vector form. (AFAICT)

Inkscape 64-bit on Windows
by Partha Bagchi 01 Oct '13

01 Oct '13

I finally managed to build a 64-bit version of Inkscape 0.48.4 on Windows. I am pretty excited about the build. :) My build environment is Windows 7 64-bit, mingw-gcc 4.8.1 building x86_64-w64-mingw32 packages. One big problem I am having is that some of the icons on the application are missing! I checked all the bug reports and only see a similar issue with Ubuntu Unity. I am convinced the problem is with the path that Inkscape is seeing. When I divert all stdout to file, I see the following: ________________________being log_______________________ ** (inkscape.exe:4148): CRITICAL **: Inkscape::XML::Document* sp_repr_read_file(const gchar*, const gchar*): assertion 'Inkscape::IO::f ile_test( filename, G_FILE_TEST_EXISTS )' failed ** (inkscape.exe:4148): WARNING **: Unable to read keys file I:\oss-dev\msys\opt\inkspace\bin\/opt/inkspace/share\share\keys\default.xm l ** (inkscape.exe:4148): WARNING **: Null pixbuf for 00000000037DFA60 [I:\oss-dev\msys\opt\inkspace\bin\/opt/inkspace/share\share\icons\ remove-color.png] (inkscape.exe:4148): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_get_width: assertion 'GDK_IS_PIXBUF (pixbuf)' failed (inkscape.exe:4148): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_get_height: assertion 'GDK_IS_PIXBUF (pixbuf)' failed (inkscape.exe:4148): Gtk-WARNING **: Could not find the icon 'object-visible'. The 'hicolor' theme was not found either, perhaps you need to install it.

Can anyone help? If you need more information, please let me know. Everything is working otherwise! Thanks in advance, Partha

VisualBounds for filter effects
by Martin Owens 01 Oct '13

01 Oct '13

Hey Devs, I've just committed a fix for that darn disappearing text and other items. The culprit was a blank _item_bbox, the code for _item_bbox was very sparse and looking back to the history of where it comes from shows that Niko Kiirala introduced it back in r3505 (2007) to improve filter effect handling when transformed. What I've done is stripped it out and replaced it with the _bbox used for all the other operations. This means the bounds for the filtering process won't be different for the bounds during other parts of the process. See revision 12528 for the gory details. What I should be sure of is what Niko was trying to do and if Ted Gould (r6891) or Krzysztof Kosiński (r10347.1.21) spotted anything as they were refactoring the code. Please do test trunk for issues surrounding filters and transforms. I'd like to make sure fixing this issue doesn't introduce another. Best Regards, Martin Owens

Memory Huzzah
by Martin Owens 01 Oct '13

01 Oct '13

Dmitry Kirsanov committed 16 memory fix revisions last night and I wanted to give a hearty huzzah. I know I've not been great at spotting memory problems, so having someone go through code and clean up these issues is really reassuring to me. Thanks Dmitry! I really appreciate your work. Best Regards, Martin Owens
